What Is the Purpose of the Sabbath? | The Well Podcast S1E8

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman discuss the purpose of the Sabbath for believers. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. To stay in the race and finish strong, believers must get in the rhythm of having a weekly Sabbath. The purpose of the Sabbath is to intentionally rest and recharge your soul. We’re not commanded to keep a day as the Sabbath to earn righteousness before God like the ancient Israelites. However, we practice the Sabbath to enjoy the abundant life Jesus offers us. To Sabbath doesn’t mean you’re not working; it means you find rest in your work. The Sabbath was meant to be a gift, not something of bondage and hardship. In Genesis, we see that God rested and reflected on His work. He did this to establish a pattern and set an example for His people. Questions to consider as you explore the purpose of the Sabbath: What things help you connect with God? What feeds your soul? What helps you to rest? Do you believe that God wants to offer rest to your soul? Belief leads to doing. We must believe that Jesus is our rest, but we must also rest physically. Dive into the purpose of the Sabbath and discover the benefits of finding rest and peace in Jesus! Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to get more videos like this to grow your faith!
